Part of the Campfire ® Heroes series, "Mother Teresa: Angel of the Slums" is a graphic novel about Albanian-born Mother Teresa, who knew from a young age that she wanted to become a nun and devote her life to God. This devotion led her to the city of Calcutta, which in the 1940s was devastated by famine, poverty, disease, and war. Thousands of homeless, sick, and starving people filled the city's slums. Alone and forgotten, these poorest of the poor were desperate for someone to recognise their plight and help them.

With nothing but her faith to guide her, Mother Teresa took to the slums bringing hope and comfort to those at the very margins of society. With her pure heart and beautiful spirit, she touched the lives of millions.

Taken largely from her pirvate lessons to her sisters, Where There Is Love, There Is God unveils Mother Teresa's extraordinary faith in and surrender to God's will. Sent to alleviate the sufferings of the poor, she assumed their struggles and pain in the depths of her heart. This led to particularly intense anguish which she lived through with heroic courage and fidelity over several decades. Although not an exhaustive anthology of Mother Teresa's teaching, this collection nonetheless shows what she believed and taught about important issues that confront all people. Due to her constant interaction with people of diverse backgrounds, no life situation was foreign to her and in this book her role is primarily one of teacher and guide. Love is perhaps the word that best summarizes Mother Teresa's life and message.

The provocative ideas and touching insights found in The Joy in Loving spring from incidents in Mother Teresa's own remarkable life. She speaks of men and of women who have lived and died uncomplainingly, even in the midst of great poverty and deprivation; of wealthy businessmen whose indifference has been transformed into compassion and charity, and of her encounters with people and governments around the globe.

In this book Mother Teresa directs us toward a closer union with God and shining the light of his love on others. Taken primarily from the lessons she gave her sisters, these words from her own voice speak to us today. She passes down to us her vocation to serve the poorest of the poor and to surrender to God's will in faith. Paperback.

This rare interview captures on film one of the greatest humanitarians of our time, and has never been available before on DVD.

Although biographies appear regularly, the world actually knows very little about Mother Teresa. Apart from a few published speeches and selected prayers, she has not bequeathed any writings.

Director Marcel Bauer had to wait many years before the “Mother" reluctantly gave him permission for an interview. This program is the film record of that historic interview, filmed just months before Mother Teresa’s death, which contains her thoughts and views on many important subjects. This film may well be regarded as the spiritual testament of one of the most exceptional women of our time.

Mother Teresa was Beatified by Pope John Paul II in 2003, and many believe she will soon be named a saint of the Catholic Church. Since her death in 1997, she continues to inspire admiration around the world.

No Greater Love is a revealing and inspiring collection of Mother Teresa's personal thoughts, arranged by theme, on love, prayer, forgiveness, service, Jesus, and other Christian virtues.

Mother Teresa: Seeing the Face of Jesus presents the life and work of Mother Teresa with words and pictures that even the youngest child will enjoy.

Many have called her a saint. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India's highest civilian honor, the Jewel of India, in 1980. Pope John Paul II declared her "Blessed," beatifying her in 2003. For nearly fifty years Mother Teresa advocated for the poor and homeless, ministered to the sick, provided hospice for the afflicted, and embodied the very essence of humanitarianism. Newly revised and updated, this edition includes a personal insight into the beatification and continuing process of canonization for Mother Teresa, the ongoing work of the Missionaries of Charity, and her "dark night of the soul." Paperback.

For an entire year at their request, Mother Teresa gave a daily meditation to her senior sisters in Calutta. She understood what it meant to thirst for God, and she poured out her life on behalf of God, whom she saw in the poorest of the poor. In Thirsting for God, you will encounter in each of these 365 daily readings the woman who yearned to know God above all else and whose words point the way for those who long to quench that same thirst. While Mother Teresa's meditations focus somewhat on the lifestyle of the Missionaries of Charity, nonetheless they convey insight and benefit to all readers.

Mother Teresa believed that we must each find our own Calcutta--the place where you're called to serve others and God. Mary Poplin had only been a Christian for 3 years when in 1996 she traveled to India to work with Mother Theresa and the Missionaries of Charity. Finding Calcutta is her memoir of that time and all she learned about service, humility, compassion and spirituality--and how she's applied her experience to the rest of her life and work. Paperback.

Mother Teresa shares the heart of Jesus in a way that will inspire you to love those who are forgotten and neglected - no matter where they live. Mother Teresa speaks eloquently of the scourge of AIDS, the tragedy of abortion, and the need to provide for abandoned and unwanted children. Besides her reflections on these topics, this book includes a wide-ranging interview with Mother Teresa and a biographical sketch pinpointing important developments in her life. Loving Jesus is not simply the title of a book, but it was a way of life for Mother Teresa. You'll be encouraged to follow her example.
